Originally posted by FlagDUDE08 View PostRegarding anthems, I only yell "Red" if I am at a home game around other people that commonly do it. For the most part I find it in bad taste, and this is coming from someone who has commonly performed the song both vocally and instrumentally (vocally not at college, but elsewhere; obviously I performed it with the pep band). Commonly I will sing along, either English or French depending upon how I feel that day and if they actually pllay that anthem. Yes I get weird looks from people around me, but it's still respecting the song and respective countries.
I think the Game DQ is because it was a scuffle at the end of the game for being ticked about losing. Yes, it's OK for the team to be ticked, but that doesn't mean you take it out on the winners. In the NHL (at least when the lockout ended, I don't know if it's still true), you receive a fine for fighting in the last 5 minutes of the game. I see the Game DQ as something very similar, except that since NCAA players are not paid, their punishment comes in the form of ice time.
But yea, so it's 1-2 now. January 16th is when we attempt to get our revenge. Until then, continue to play well when you don't play RPI.

Re: Union @ RPI, Wednesday 12/9/09
The anthem discussion had me thinking, why is it that it has to be played at sporting events? The fact that it precedes "games" with certain exceptions, like Memorial Day or the 4th of July, to me demeans its value and significance. I can't honestly remember the last time I've heard the anthem at a nonsporting event and maybe that's part of my concern. Just seems odd to me.

Like aweise said, it's hard to tell who started it, but Kerins hooked his fingers in J. Simpson's facemask, shook his head back and forth and eventually tore the helmet right off his head and to the ice.
While the rulebook doesn't say anything about misconducts or disqualifications for the play (minor or major at ref's discretion), I don't know that throwing a minor, major, or a 10-minute misconduct on the board at 20:00 of the third is an appropriate punishment for a move like that. The game DQ is the only way to actually penalize Kerins for what is a stupid and potentially dangerous move.

Originally posted by aweise View PostFirst of all, thank you for your service, RC. And I'm right there with you on the anthem stuff. It's an unwinnable argument to get people to stop shouting anything during the anthems, but I think we can all agree to leave "sucks" out of it.
Second, there was a pretty good game played last night, eh? Had the game ended at 59 minutes, I would have walked out of there satisfied that RPI deserved the win. I thought they were the better team for the most part - certainly in the second period and most of the 3rd...outside of Trabucco's 2 shots that I'm pretty sure York heard, but never saw. I'd also be annoyed at the stupid penalties Union took - especially by Lareau that gave RPI the go-ahead score.
I'm more convinced now that the players are starting to consider this a true rivalry. There was some intense play as the game wore on, though there wasn't too much post-whistle activity. I wasn't sure who initiated the scuffle at the end, but the Union players clearly were not happy with Kerins. Perhaps a penalty was deserved, but I don't know about the game DQ.
I think we're going to have a more intense battle on Jan 16th. Messa should be packed & ready for this one.

And there's no question the team sees a rivalry, even if a lot of us fans don't. That'll happen when you play each other as often as we do nowadays.

I was starting to wonder if that might be the case too. He's certainly classless enough to have been the guy.

My gosh, does someone need to wear the stripes and ref this one? For some reason, it seems like AnthonySaxe IS the one you almost fought with in the parking lot, RC.
But in any case, we lost, big deal. One team has to each night (aside from the kissing of the sisters). We'll see y'all for revenge night on the 16th.
